Abstract: In a world of increasing energy demand, it is imperative to come up with innovative solutions to reduce and conserve energy use. So the solar energy comes across a good option. Solar power generation has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing renewable sources of electricity. Solar-powered systems consist of solar panel, charge controller, battery, and load. Solar charge controller plays an important role as the system’s overall success depends mainly on it. It is considered as an important link between the solar panel, battery and load. The series type of regulation ‘wastes’ a lot of energy while charging the battery which is used to operate DC motor, as the control circuitry is always active. So in this paper parallel regulation technique is used but instead of wasting the charging current it is used to keep battery topped-up
